According to Variety, Matthew Modine, Tom Conti and Joey King have joined the cast of the upcoming Batman film "The Dark Knight Rises". All the actors have been cast in secret roles, although I'm sure all their roles will be minor. Matthew Modine was a pretty well known actor in the late 80's and early 90's. Modine is most famous for starring in Stanly Kubrick's "Full Metal Jacket" in which he played...Joker. (Yep, I thought that was pretty funny.) Tom Conti, on the other hand, is an Oscar nominated actor for his role in "Reuben, Reuben".Rumors have already begun to hit the internet about the roles these actors will play in the film. Matthew Modine is rumored to be playing a lawyer named Nixon while Joey King is rumored to be playing a young Talia al Ghul (assuming that the rumors of Marion Cotillard actually playing Talia al Ghul and not Miranda Tate are true). I guess we will have to wait and see what Christopher Nolan has in store for us when his last Batman movie hits screens in 2012.Matthew Modine, Tom Conti and Joey King join a cast which includes Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Anne Hathaway, Gary Oldman, Tom Hardy, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard, Josh Pence, Nestor Carbonell, Juno Temple, Alon Aboutboul, Daniel Sunjata, Diego Klattenhoff and Morgan Freeman. "The Dark Knight Rises" will hit screens on July 20, 2012.Thank you for checking out my website! Be sure to 'like' Silver Screen Hub on Facebook!
